About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - One million copies sold! Inspired by the life of a real World War II heroine, this remarkable debut novel reveals the power of unsung women to change history in their quest for love, freedom, and second chances. "Extremely moving and memorable . . . This impressive debut should appeal strongly to historical fiction readers and to book clubs that adored Kristin Hannah's The Nightingale and Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See ."-- Library Journal (starred review) New York socialite Caroline Ferriday has her hands full with her post at the French consulate and a new love on the horizon. But Caroline's world is forever changed when Hitler's army invades Poland in September 1939--and then sets its sights on France. An ocean away from Caroline, Kasia Kuzmerick, a Polish teenager, senses her carefree youth disappearing as she is drawn deeper into her role as courier for the underground resistance movement. In a tense atmosphere of watchful eyes and suspecting neighbors, one false move can have dire consequences. For the ambitious young German doctor, Herta Oberheuser, an ad for a government medical position seems her ticket out of a desolate life. Once hired, though, she finds herself trapped in a male-dominated realm of Nazi secrets and power. The lives of these three women are set on a collision course when the unthinkable happens and Kasia is sent to Ravensbrück, the notorious Nazi concentration camp for women. Their stories cross continents--from New York to Paris, Germany, and Poland--as Caroline and Kasia strive to bring justice to those whom history has forgotten.

Reviews
"Harrowing . . . Lilac illuminates." -- People "A compelling, page-turning narrative . . . Lilac Girls falls squarely into the groundbreaking category of fiction that re-examines history from a fresh, female point of view. It's smart, thoughtful and also just an old-fashioned good read." -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram "A powerful story for readers everywhere . . . Martha Hall Kelly has brought readers a firsthand glimpse into one of history's most frightening memories. A novel that brings to life what these women and many others suffered. . . . I was moved to tears." -- San Francisco Book Review "[A] compelling first novel . . . This is a page-turner demonstrating the tests and triumphs civilians faced during war, complemented by Kelly's vivid depiction of history and excellent characters." -- Publishers Weekly "Kelly vividly re-creates the world of Ravensbrück." -- Kirkus Reviews "Inspired by actual events and real people, Martha Hall Kelly has woven together the stories of three women during World War II that reveal the bravery, cowardice, and cruelty of those days. This is a part of history--women's history--that should never be forgotten." --Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author of China Dolls "This is the kind of book I wish I had the courage to write--a profound, unsettling, and thoroughly captivating look at sisterhood through the dark lens of the Holocaust. Lilac Girls is the best book I've read all year. It will haunt you." --Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet "Rich with historical detail and riveting to the end, Lilac Girls weaves the lives of three astonishing women into a story of extraordinary moral power set against the harrowing backdrop of Europe in thrall to Nazi Germany. Martha Hall Kelly moves effortlessly across physical and ethical battlegrounds, across the trajectory of a doomed wartime romance, across the territory of the soul. I can't remember the last time I read a novel that moved me so deeply." --Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of A Hundred Summers and The Secret Life of Violet Grant, "Harrowing . . .

    Little known story of women who were subjects of cruel experiments under the Nazis.

    This was a book club selection. Not enjoyable reading, but interesting and well written. I did enjoy reading about the authors interest in the topic and how she followed it up to tell the story of the women who were experimented on and the activist who helped them heal. It saddens me that people are still living in fear not unlike what happened in Poland.

  • Highly Recommend Lilac Girls

    Absolutely mesmerizing book with actual experiences of real people during WW II and the connection with an American woman who brought them together for many years. One of the best books on WW II and followiing years I have ever read.

    just started reading but book holds my interest, is well written. I'm very interested in ow the author connects the three women she introduces in the beginning.

  • Lilac Girls is a compact read of well-chosen (fr: mot jus) words for a cryptic text audience who have not yet experienced life.

    As striking as the descriptions evoke emotional responses, I am certain that Hollywood will exploit the subject with incredible realism. However, the book will have sustainability: the power for the creative mind to translate the written word to lasting images. Read the book. Then, see the movie! Compare and contrast the difference to understand.

  • NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN

    This story is based on the truth with only few changes to the occurrences. this story was well written and compelling for all who reads it. This is a story about humanity and the warning is that without remembrance, this can happen again. As high as mankind can achieve, so low can mankind go. the reader experiences everything that the characters in the book do. A must read.
